my answer is the same, not trusting. not trusting yourself, not trusting your thoughts and emotions. and then not trusting other people's thoughts and emotions. and then not trusting the world, not trusting that there is still good out there. the external confusion which makes me obsessive and crazy.

this is interesting to me. And I have an answer! It's going to contain a smidge of my own projections, I'm aware, but what I'm going to say is....... that super-duper Trust-O-Matic 5000, throw it out.

This is something I've been thinking about quite a bit lately as I was trying to figure out whether I was an image type. I was heavily leaning toward 3 until I read The Complete Enneagram and realized I was supposed to be typing pre-25-year-old me. Once I realized that, it was easy to decide I...
